Start to make your work more accessible:
- Use contrasting colors in slides, documents, etc.
- Make certain the font sizes can be increased.
- Use less text per slide.
- Check your work using screen readers.
- Use the style guides (i.e. titles and headers).
- Check to see if your work is keyboard friendly.
